Your hyper sensitivity to the gas’s might actually cause the stress, which in turn causes more symptoms. Find a way to relax and let the gas be. Find what works for you: mindfulness, sports, hypnosis, medication… However, try first to focus on normalising your perception of the gas.

I think the "hypersensitivity" line is BS, or at least it's not a complete explanation. In my and others' cases, the "psychiatric" GI symptoms precede the physiological ones. The only time I ever got a straight answer is when I ended up at the hospital because I was passing out, and they said it was likely some combination of low blood pressure and vagus nerve overstimulation.

It is well established that vagus disruption during digestion has all sorts of side effects.

Including anxiety.

Right, point being that's not a psychological hypersensitivity, it's a lower level subconscious physiological process.

Hmm interesting! Maybe I can try measuring my blood pressure during these times of tiredness.

This is called IBS, and is caused by bacteria digesting certain carbs very rapidly. Identify the foods with a low Fodmap diet, figure out the quantity that doesnt trigger issues, and live mostly normally. I cant eat fructose at all, and only small amounts of garlic or onions.
